I am interested in battling extortion for personal reasons and out of necessity: I want to find and evaluate ways that help me to deal with extortionists.

However, the reason for founding this website is much broader: I believe, that it is a human and civil right to be free of extortion. Accordingly, this website focuses on helping to defend anti-extortion related human and civil rights secured by law, on supporting anti-extortion causes, and on helping to further individual anti-extortion cases by employing variety of lawful means.

In this spirit, I am genuinely happy for every extortion victim who finds an effective solution to his or her situation. If this website can provide help in the process, that’s even better.

By nature I am an entrepreneurial person, who tries to turn problems into opportunities. Professionally I am a database application developer, business analyst and project manager. My IT work related site, ProjectDeveloper.com contains more information on my professional background.

The systemic problems listed below are specific to one case. However, the problems listed here may very well be relevant to many people. We don't know how many people over the years have paid to the Department of…See More

Office of Government Information Services, or OGIS, is supposed to be Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) ombudsman. I contacted OGIS with a request for assistance with Department of Education FOIA process. I received a response from OGIS current director Alina Semo.Based on the actual case addressed here, it's hard to say, whether the current OGIS director is very poorly informed about how the Department of Education and its business partners actually operate, or does not care about looking into…See More

We have a case here, where the Department of Education created consumer lending and borrowing records years after a student graduated from college, without existence of any actual lending and borrowing transactions and corresponding documents. Subsequently, the Department of Education started using these internal records as if the records were based on actual, real life lending and borrowing transactions.This can work, if the former student believes what the Department of Education tells him,…See More
